His heart was visible, and the dismal sack that maketh excrement of what is eaten.

GSP did a great job of controlling range with that jab and taking down at will.

Condit fucking brings it!
Great chin as well.

Seriously though, Diaz may be a dimwit, but you can't deny that the wrestlers have an advantage and it doesn't make the show any better.
So you get points for top control and takedowns, but are you the better fighter when you do?

Anyway I want a Diaz Condit rematch, with less at stake it, it might be the fight we'd expected the first time.

I agree the persistent takedown and top control strategy is boring to watch, but yes I think it makes them the better fighter if their opponent can't stop it. Motherfuckers should learn to wrestle if they don't like it, I guess.

I feel like GSP is nearing the end of his title reign though. As dominant as he was against Diaz, he just doesn't seem quite the same - specifically his ability to take punishment. Diaz hurt him a couple times, even with limited opportunities to get off strikes.

And his chin is about to be tested in a major way. I don't think GSP can withstand the kind of strikes Condit took from Hendricks.

Not if the point is to submit or knock an opponent out.
There's a reason there's a time limit to pins as in wrestling, sambo or whatever.
Condit came closer to finishing Hendrix than vice versa, so you could say he was winning the fight.
